Thursday, February 12, 2009 well i guess this is growing up

Current mood: hopeful Greetings and salutations fools. Ahhhh yes, what could I possibly start this blog off with other than the greatest news in the past 4 years. BLINK-182 IS BACK!! Yeah, that’s right. I doubt anybody hasn’t heard yet, but in case you haven’t they’re back. I’m kind of excited. But kind of not. Idk. Supposedly they’re working on a new record, and I’m happy that they’re back and all, but I think I wrote about this before, where I said that their last album wasn’t really that good. They had like 2 good songs. Here’s You’re Letter and Easy Target. And Robert Smith’s song. That’s about it. So hopefully their new cd will kick ass. everybody always talks about how they don't want artists to "make the same record" and how they have to grow as artists or whatever, but i wouldn't mind a Dude Ranch part 2. haha. Also, it’s kind of hard for me to defend them from being sellouts when right away after their announcement, the next day they’re advertising their new t-shirts and hoodies German Blitzkrieg style. I mean they are advertising the shit outta these things. Whatever. After 10 years or more (fuck I don’t know how long it’s been) they’ve deserved the benefit of the doubt. I also attempted to paste their interactive logo thing on my page but I don’t think it’s working. Meh. I’m kind of more looking forward to the fact that they might tour over the summer. I’m so going. Although there’s speculation that they might be going on warped tour. I’m not really a big fan of the warped tour anymore. And I’m sure that everybody will go to warped tour just to see them, and I don’t feel like paying 70 bucks to sit in the sun and watch them for 15 minutes from a mile away. Plus the bands that play warped tour now aren’t really my thing. It’s all the metro-sexual, screamy, poppy, emoey, young, bands. The last warped tour I went to was amazing. If all those bands went again then maybe I’d consider going. The last time I went it was, bad religion, dropkick murphy’s, afi, rancid, pennywise, all the good old school bands. It went from real punks in “levi’s jeans and leather jackets” with cigarettes to middle schooler’s in skin tight pants, neon colored t-shirts and sidekicks, blackberry’s and iphones. Then there’s the whole thing with the Lawrence Arms. If Brendan Kelly is against it, than so am I lol. For those of you that don’t know here’s the story. The Lawrence Arms got kicked off of warped tour and banned for life because to put it simply, “they were too punk rock” for the warped tour. Wtf is that about? For those of you that have never been to a larry arms concert, Brendan is the lead singer. Brendan is often drunk. And Brendan likes to talk shit. A lot of shit. Haha. so whenever he was on stage at the warped tour he would start to talk shit about other bands and even the warped tour itself, stating that it’s a giant commercialization of the scene and it was killing punk rock etc… And when I say if Brendan Kelly is against it than so am I, I don’t say it just because I’m some sort of sheep. He makes valid points. Before warped tour bands would go out on tour to small clubs and take other bands with them. So every weekend it’d be a new show with new bands and these are opportunities for bands to make new fans, and they keep the small clubs in business. After warped tour, everything in the summer is just thrown together into one day out of the year. Making small clubs go out of business and killing the summer for fans, and reducing the chances of smaller bands of getting exposure. So I hope they do their own tour. I don’t want to have to go to warped. But if I have to… Also, rancid is coming out with a new album. I’m also pretty excited about that. Their last album indestructible was great. And it’s been just as long since blink put out anything, haha. and they didn’t break up. There’s a new Fast and the Furious coming out in April. Pretty excited about that too. Except my brother gets pissed, and says that they can’t ever go past what they did with Tokyo Drift. Like that’s the holy grail of racing movies or something. I disagree and thought that movie sucked hard. It’s probably my least favorite of all the fast and furious movies. I’m probably most excited about Angels & Demons. Oh man just thinking about it gets me… well yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I don’t know if I wrote about it before, but hell this is my blog and I’ll write it again if I want to. Oh, for those of you who don’t know it’s like The Davinci Code part 2 or it’s a prequel idk. But after I read davinci code, I read angels & demons and I thought it was better. I literally couldn’t put the book down. I remember I started reading it one morning in the summer out on a swing in my back yard, and I literally didn’t put it down until I was done the next morning when my dad was getting up for work. Haha. it was THAT good. And I saw bits and pieces of the trailer for it and I saw that ewan mcgregor (fuck spelling), but he’s in it and I can kind of tell which character he’s playing, and It’s going to be great. I’m kind of a nerd. I know. Ugh, and I’m also going to be depressed for a while. Stupid mexico lost yesterday to the U.S. in a world cup qualifier. (if you’re not into soccer don’t read this part or you’ll be bored out of your mind). But yeah. They lost. 2-0. Wtf. Yes yes yes I know I’m an American, and I’ll always root for the usa. EXCEPT for when they play Mexico. Then soy 100% MEXICANO!!! (insert ‘chente grito here) haha. Yeah. Wtf. I’m pissed. I’m not really into Sven Goran Ericksson. I mean c’mon, he was coach of England and somehow he failed to get them to qualify for Euro 2008. How is that even possible? He must not be that good of a coach. Also, mexico was plagued with injuries and suspensions. Personally I would have put in Memo Ochoa instead of Oswaldo Sanchez. No ladies, not because he’s hot, but because he’s the better keeper. I also would have put in Johnny Magallon instead of whoever else was playing center back. I forget his name. I also would have put in Andres Guardado instead of that blonde guy. I forget his name as well. And the forward they had in there sucked. I think his name was Carlos Ochoa. He didn’t do shit all game. I would have put in Vela. But that’s just me. Javier Aguirre just got fired from Atletico Madrid, he should be coaching Mexico. That’s what I would do. Man, if only I ran the world. That would be great. Oh, and Chris Brown hahahahahahahahaaha. That’s just hilarious. Turns out he’s a wife beater. Haha. I’d like to thank him though. That means I can move in on Rihanna now. Lol. When she first sees me her jaw will drop, and I’ll just be like (barry white voice) “yeah”. And we’ll get married that night. Haha. well that’s the way It plays out in MY mind. Lol. Man what the hell was that guy thinking?! Here’s a guy who all the girls go crazy for, he has one of the hottest girlfriends out there, and he goes and does that?!?! Oh man. Talk about career suicide. But then again some guys have game like that. I mean Drew Peterson, the guy who’s 2 past wives have mysteriously died, and who’s 3rd is still “missing”, somehow he has a new girlfriend that just moved in with him!! It was on the news the other day. This girl must be out of her freaking mind. Drew Peterson must have a magical wang because what the hell… or maybe the girl just has a death wish or something. Or she’s one of those girls that send fan mail to serial killers in prison. Idk. This world is messed up. Well whatever. I’m tired of typing now. A couple of days ago I was cleaning my hard drive of old documents that I didn’t need anymore, and I came across a bunch of George W. Bush jokes that I had saved for one of my friends. For some reason he was a staunch Bush supporter, and me well…you know me. aaaanyway, I’ll leave you with the jokes. My favorite one is the lightbulb joke. Haha. Bush and the Bible: A Letter to George Bush Dear President Bush, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination? 7. Lev.21:20 states that I may ! not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging. Three Brazilian Soldiers Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.""OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?" George W. Bush's Intelligence Quiz While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" "Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here Colin Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb ass." Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass, It's Tony Blair!" Bush Light Bulb Joke Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; it's conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom? Haha, it’s great isn’t it? Whatever. Till next time fuckers.
